Utah plays waiting game with Procter & Gamble

I find it interesting that Utah's media was once infuriated that the
state's eocnomic development officials refused to release information about
deals they were negotiating with clients. As a result of their complaints, we
can now read about the details of a major economic development deal that may be
in the works with Procter and Gamble. In the same article, you report that all
the other states you contacted will share information about their offers to the
same company. Doesn't this place Utah at a tremendous competitive
disadvantage as they compete for a firm that would be a major new taxpayer and
employer in our state? The media provides a valuable service, but sometimes
their pursuit of their own self interests does not serve the people of the State
of Utah well. This is one such instance.
